setbacks

[electricland]

The person I want to be is outgoing, considerate, able to do more than one activity (if not at the same time, because that's just crazy, at least in parallel). She's a self-starter who acts instead of just reacting. Also, she calls when she's going to be late (or not show up), instead of freezing in denial.

The person I am is seeming kind of far away from that at the moment. Shit.

(She also doesn't feel so sorry for herself when she occasionally screws up, but that's another story.)

[Edit: And she also doesn't start crying at her desk over one missed commitment and one inconsequential missed fact-check. What the hell is wrong with me today?]
